  • Question: where is my GPDP, how to read GPDP budget, how to verify GPDP works, how to file RTI for GPDP, how to track execution of GPDP
  • Geo: state/district/GP + GPDP

User intent analysis

  • Audience: Villagers, community leaders, social audit volunteers.
  • Intent: Get the GPDP, understand works/budgets, and monitor execution.

What GPDP Contains

  • Works planned by the Gram Panchayat with scheme/fund source (15th/16th FC, MGNREGA convergence, SBM, JJM, etc.).
  • Estimated costs, timelines, and executing agency.
  • Priority/vulnerability focus: SC/ST, women, elderly, PWD, remote hamlets.

How to Access the GPDP

  • eGramSwaraj/State portal: Navigate State → District → Block → GP → Planning → GPDP/Action Plan; download PDF.
  • PlanPlus/Panchatantra (state-specific): Look under Documents/Reports → GPDP.
  • Offline: Request a copy at the Panchayat office; note diary number.

Quick Reading Guide

  • Note the financial year and approval date (Gram Sabha).
  • List top works: sector, scheme/fund, estimated cost, start/end dates.
  • Check convergence items (MGNREGA labour + line dept materials).
  • Identify vulnerable-beneficiary targeting.

Field Verification Checklist

  • Pick 5–10 works; visit sites.
  • Check workboards/nameplates: scheme, sanction amount, start date.
  • Measure key dimensions vs estimates; take photos.
  • For MGNREGA-linked works, ask workers about payments; note dates.

Using RTI When GPDP Is Missing

Ask for: approved GPDP for FY <year>; works list with estimates; fund source/release orders; work orders; measurement books and progress/status.

RTI template (concise): “Provide approved GPDP for FY YYYY-YY for GP <name>; works list with estimates and fund source; copies of work orders; measurement book/status for works started.”


Escalation and Social Audit

  • Raise gaps in Gram Sabha with photos/measurements.
  • Take findings to Block Development Office with GPDP pages attached.
  • Request Social Audit Unit to include flagged works in next audit.

People Also Ask — With Answers

  • Where do I download my GPDP? From eGramSwaraj/PlanPlus/Panchatantra under your GP page.

  • How do I verify works? Visit sites, check boards, measure, and compare to GPDP estimates.
